Avison Young and Ten-X Commercial arrange the sale of Eastport Office Building near Greensboro, NC

Raleigh, NC– Avison Young and Ten-X Commercial announced today the sale of Eastport Office Building, a 146,000 square-foot (sf), three-story, office building located at 5420 Millstream Road in McLeansville (Greensboro MSA), North Carolina. SRA/Eastport Office Building, LLC sold the building for $7.3 million to North Carolina-based investor Eastport Ventures, LLC.

Built in 1990, this Class A office building is situated on approximately 11 acres immediately adjacent to Interstate 40 and just outside of Greensboro, North Carolina. The property was originally an expansion to the formerly neighboring AT&T campus, now called Carolina Corporate Center. Currently 48% leased, tenants include Willis Re, Conduit Global and DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency).

Eastport Office Building was sold via Ten-X, the nation’s leading online real estate transaction marketplace. Ten-X Commercial’s Live Bid transaction method was used to transact the asset, allowing for pre-qualified buyers to compete on price on a fixed sale date. The Building attracted four fully approved bidders for its March 1 Live Bid event and was sold and closed in 30 days. Justin Latorre represented Ten-X Commercial in the transaction.

“The Ten-X Commercial marketplace helped discover Eastport Office Building’s true market value, delivering a smooth and successful transaction process that was completed within just one month,” said Ten-X Commercial General Manager Steve Jacobs. “Sellers and brokers continue to count on the Ten-X marketplace to successfully find the unknown buyer to transact their assets and close quickly and with certainty.”

“The speed with which the property came to market and closed was amazing. It was exciting to watch as the potential buyers competed to win the asset,” said Avison Young Senior Vice President Gary Lyons. “Given the opportunity for significant lease up, we see this as a great value-add opportunity for the buyer. They’ve approached the investment correctly by making plans with their lender to invest further in the building in support of their current clients and in anticipation of increasing the building’s occupancy.”
